Your synaesthesia danced the air, my feet the floor And bounced again and with a scream and more I fell down to my knees and screeched my dance Against walls and unseen windows without a glance Beyond the yearning to charm public I cannot see Your tone atonal to my shins and knees In utter up-tempo perspiration centrifuges tears... Music intrusive within my skull burst wide So many visions and words floating inside I need to be where once I used to be Your style misunderstood, they did forget My mind remembers, if my body would let Me dance your dance instead of forging dreams I sob in silence, bursting at the seams Tears immersing in this endless agonizing sea But with eyes closed my feet are at will My dreams rule, my body in this bed lies still You blended genius with near untimely sin, Alexander Scriabin... *** February 13, 2017

I am listening to his music while reading your poem and the combination is so majestic - I see the stage and the orchestra, curtains and dancing <3
